Through 9pm Saturday evening, the form letter generator had sent 2,142 letters to the Office of Management and Budget opposing ATF's rule making. "P.T." sent the following screen shots of the number of entries received on Friday and on Saturday (through 9pm). The total number in that 48 hours is 2,401 according to his comments.

According to Sitemeter statistics, this blog had 2,556 hits on Friday and 2,440 hits on Saturday. My estimate is that 75% plus of those hits were in response to the letter generator. If you visited and didn't submit a letter, go back and do it!

As to why you should do it, read Kurt Hofmann's post at the St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. The title of his column says it all - "Celebrating those who died for liberty, too lazy to spend 1 minute to defend it?" Kurt notes, you aren't being asked to defend Bastogne against the Nazis like certain veterans from WWII were asked to do - and did. All we are asking you to do is take less than one minute to send a pre-written letter opposing the ATF's power grab.

The tide in the war for gun rights has turned and we have won many battles lately starting with the Heller decision. This is not the time to become apathetic and complacent. It is time to drive home the win and keep the astro-turfing gun prohibitionists in retreat.
